Nobunaga is a witch

"I'm talking about the heir of the Oda family." The horsewhip in Oda Nobunaga's hand lightly patted his thigh, "Isn't there always a retainer reminding me that I should pay attention to the heir?"

As the territory she actually controlled became larger and larger, this issue was repeatedly mentioned by retainers.In fact, she is not the only one who has no children, such as Uesugi Kenshin, who has not even married, let alone children.

But generally speaking, they will adopt the children of other siblings, or children of suitable status, as their heirs.

Of course, what Oda Nobunaga didn’t know was that in another history, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, whom she called a monkey, would eventually become Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But who would have thought that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in despair, Chacha would give birth to two children in succession for him?

As a matter of course, that nephew of Hideyoshi Toyoshiro, that is, Toyotomi Hideji Sekibai in history, will definitely not end well.

Fortunately, with Oda Nobunaga here, there is no other history.

What she created is the history here.

Hearing what his lord said, Hanbei Takenaka had the urge to help his forehead, "Aren't you joking?" Of course, the retainers would want to remind you of the issue of heirs, after all, this is a precarious era, but I'm afraid not One would think that you would want to raise a princess to be the heir of the Oda family.

"Mr. Hanbei, do you think I'm joking?" Oda Nobunaga had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were frosty.

"..." It's because I don't think you're joking, so I think it's scary.Why every time I feel that I may have adapted to the whims of the lord, the facts will tell him that he is too naive.

Hanbei Takenaka took two deep breaths, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, "The retainers will not agree." Not only will they not agree, but they will definitely join forces to oppose it.

Oda Nobunaga turned his head to look at the person, his eyes were not warm at all against the firelight, they were still cold and cold, "Is it including you, Mr. Hanbei?"

Hanbei Takenaka was silent for a while, although he didn't say anything explicitly, his attitude was obvious.

Oda Nobunaga smiled, but didn't force him to express his opinion right away, "There's no rush, Ashi's little daughter is still young anyway." The little girl who was still in her infancy, she had plenty of time to wear it down.

When she returned to Gifu, she first adopted this little girl named Jiang as her adopted daughter and named her after Oda.

This is not something to challenge the bottom line of the Oda family's retainers, and no one would object to it.

Then, pick a nurse and attendant for Jiang Ji, and let her grow up under his own teaching step by step.

As long as she can educate Jiang Ji well, there will always be retainers who are willing to stand by Jiang Ji's side. At least, those retainers who know her true identity will be more accepting of Jiang Ji.

At that time, Jiang Ji will be noble and will be her only child of Oda Nobunaga.

When those retainers reflected, Oda Nobunaga believed that Jiang Ji herself should have a lot of strength.

With her pushing aside, if Jiang Ji worked hard herself, she would definitely not be invincible.

Of course, if Jiang Ji couldn't do it herself, she, Oda Nobunaga, was willing to admit defeat, so she had nothing to complain about.

However, Oda Nobunaga was not worried that the child she taught would really be so unable to stand up.

The head of the Oda family has always been a person with absolute self-confidence.

Hanbei Takenaka frowned and was about to say something, but the next moment, he didn't speak bluntly.

That's right, as the Lord himself said, Lord Shiji's daughter is still so young.

Who knows if the lord is on a whim, after all, their lord is really quite whimsical sometimes.

Even if not, after such a long time, they still have enough time to slowly dispel the idea of ​​the lord.

Hanbei Takenaka is not a warrior who goes forward bravely and desperately. As a military adviser, he thinks more and understands the truth that things can be smoothed out if they are slow.

But even he, who is called the number one genius military strategist in the Warring States Period, would not have thought that Oda Nobunaga did not do it on a whim, but after careful consideration.

As for the obstacles that may be encountered, the governor of the Oda family is most afraid of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.

Secularity, rules and even destiny, not only will not make her afraid, but will arouse her infinite fighting spirit.

So it is conceivable that the next few decades of the Oda family will be in such a messy situation again.

Oda Nobunaga completed the final battle against Asakura and Asai's family with ease and orderly.

Although Oda Nobunaga deeply hated the betrayal of the Asai family for losing Mori Kasei, she would not affect her judgment because of this.

Otani Castle was finally captured by Oda Nobunaga. Since then, the crusade has finally come to an end.

The head of the Asakura family, Yoshikage Asakura, was killed, the Asakura family was destroyed, the two generations of the Asai family, Hisamasa Asai and Nagamasa Asai, committed suicide, and the Asai family was destroyed.

So Oda Nobunaga took the large area of ​​Gyeonggi land from Mino Gifu to Kyoto into his hands, and became the overlord who actually owned Owari, Mino, Ise, Echizen, Omi and other multinational territories.

After the capture of Omi, the established overlord did not rest for a moment, and once again led his troops to Luo, and exiled Yoshiaki Ashikaga, who had disobeyed her many times and even joined forces with other daimyos to attack her, from Beijing.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki was spared his life, he completely deprived the opposing general of his title and power.

The era of the Muromachi Shogunate finally came to an end in the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

At the same time, Oda Nobunaga once again had an audience with Emperor Masakimachi, asking him to change the reign name, and declare his status in the world openly.

Emperor Masakimachi sat in the renovated palace and approved Oda Nobunaga's request.

In that year, the Emperor issued a decree of amnesty, changing the previous reign title Motoki to Tensho, which opened up Oda Nobunaga's sweeping dominance during the Tensho years.

The imperial court's amnesty decree officially came down, and the Oda family was also full of joy and encouragement.

The head of the family asked the court to change to the Yuan court and agreed. What does this mean?

It means that the imperial court has recognized the status of the head of their family, so why not make these people who followed Oda Nobunaga happy and excited.

But that wasn't the only thing that made them happy.

Oda Nobunaga has always been very generous to his retainers, and because of this shareholder style, she began to reward the retainers.

This time, Oda Nobunaga renamed the Imamama Castle of Omi Country to Nagahama Castle, and gave Kinoshita Hideyoshi together with the first stage of the sword she got during the crusade against Asakura Yoshikage this time.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi finally fulfilled his wish to become the Daimyo of Yujo.The city lord who was born as a farmer was overjoyed, and created a new Miao character: Hashiba from the names of Shibata Katsuie and Niwa Chohide, the famous Oda family generals.From then on, he changed his name to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and called Hashiba Chikuzenshou Hideyoshi (Chikuzenshou refers to the official position of a monkey).

In addition, Oda Nobunaga bestowed Sakamoto New City on Mitsuhide Akechi, calling him Akechi Hinata Shou Mitsuhide (Hinata Shou is also an official position).

In addition to these two upstarts, Oda Nobunaga did not forget the loyal old minister who followed her all the time.

She bestowed Kita Shojo Castle on Shibata Katsuie, and Sawayama Castle on Niwa Nagahide...

At the same time, Oda Nobunaga officially gave Tokugawa Ieyasu as the patriarch the Mikawa that she supported Tokugawa Ieyasu to take back from the Imagawa family.

It can be said that through this series of entrustment, the strength of Oda Nobunaga's retainers has stepped onto a new level.

But at the same time, Oda Nobunaga also knew very well that the enfeoffment system was the source of turmoil, so in response to this situation, she implemented a new retainer collective residence system.

That is to say, the city can be entrusted and the salary can be increased, but as the retainers of the Oda family, in addition to the mission of going out to battle, Oda Nobunaga let most of the retainers stay in Gifu most of the time, which is easy to control.

In fact, Oda Nobunaga had gathered most of his retainers overtly and secretly before, but it was only consolidated at this moment with the institutional situation.

Of course, this move inevitably aroused the dissatisfaction of many retainers, after all, who would not want to go to their own fief and become the emperor of the land.

Staying in Gifu, under the eyes of the lord all the time, I feel that my nerves are tense at any time, and I can't even relax.

But at this time, Oda Nobunaga was no longer a country daimyo in Owari, and she was in full power. She used to be one-sided in the Oda family, but now she vaguely has the embryonic form of a one-word decision.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga easily suppressed all voices of dissatisfaction, even the reasons are ready-made.

Staying in Gifu means staying with the Patriarch. As a retainer, shouldn't you serve the Patriarch at any time to express your loyalty?

What, you don't want to serve the head of the family, is it because you are not sincere enough for me or is it simply to accumulate strength and want to rebel?

With the big hat down, naturally no one objected.

Since then, it has become the practice of the Oda family, and then the practice of the whole world, that the retainers of the Oda family are not granted titles.

This system has continued to modern times, affecting hundreds of years in between.

After Oda Nobunaga finished rewarding all his retainers for meritorious service, and the entire territory temporarily stabilized, she immediately implemented a series of economic and internal affairs measures vigorously.

With reference to Owari and Mino, Ise, Echizen, Omi and other places are all included in the scope of this reform.

Different from the previous first reform, many of Oda Nobunaga's subordinates had experience in this reform. She directly led by Niwa Nagahide and thoroughly rolled out this reform in the entire territory.

As a result, the retainers of the Oda family fell into a busy hell-like situation again after the joy of receiving the award hadn't passed.

Among these busy retainers, only the Patriarch of the Oda family still carried out the routine of last time.

The retainers are busy, so she is free. After fighting for so many years, now that she has some free time, this guy took people out (for fun) just like the last time he visited Qian Zongyi.

"Hengxing, you don't have to be so nervous." On the mountain road, Oda Nobunaga was riding on the horse, teasing his nanny quite leisurely, "The handle of the Taidao will be broken by you."

It's no wonder Oda Nobunaga made fun of it. Ikeda Hengxing, who followed her on the saddle, has been holding the knife handle since he came out, looking around vigilantly, as if he would draw the knife if there was a disagreement.

"Yes, Master Hengxing, you can rest easy for now." The person leading the horse to Oda Nobunaga turned his head, revealing a not-so-good-looking face.

It is just recently that he has become the daimyo of the city, and the city lord of Nagahama Castle, who can be regarded as quite powerful when released, is Hashiba Hideyoshi.

When Oda Nobunaga wanted to go out, he resumed his old business and continued to lead the horse for his lord. Even if he became the lord of the city, this guy was very skilled in his business.

He smiled at Ikeda Hengxing, "No one will recognize my lord's appearance now."

Ikeda Hengxing glared at Hashiba Hideyoshi, "Hideyoshi-sama, that's why I'm worried."

If the lord is just dressed up in ordinary clothes, even her majesty can shock Xiao Xiao.

But the problem is, that...

Ikeda Hengxing turned his head and took a look at Oda Nobunaga, who was riding a horse with Yuya Youzai, who was dressed as gorgeously as Hime-kun.

Under the sky, the beautiful face of his lord's lord looked forward to him, and he was astonishingly beautiful.

When she didn't deliberately show her majesty, she looked like the young master of Owari's time, unrestrained and wanton, with a coldness like moonlight, but she was uniquely attractive.

So Ikeda Hengxing felt an inexplicable urge to cry.

He was afraid that his lord would be robbed of marriage by someone like this!

"Monkey, watch the road." Oda Nobunaga stretched out his foot and kicked Hashiba Hideyoshi, who turned around to talk to people, before turning to Ikeda Hengxing, "Hengxing, as the monkey said, there is no one anyway. Can you recognize me, and besides, Ise is still considered stable, so don't worry so much." She said, and she spread her folding fan on the horse with great interest, and covered her lips with a smile, "Otherwise, if you continue to be so nervous, I'm afraid Before you reach the Ise Shrine, you are already nervous to death."

That's right, Oda Nobunaga brought Ikeda Hengxing and Hashiba Hideyoshi out this time to visit Ise Shrine.

"I, I will try my best." Ikeda Hengxing was "laughed at" by the lord and Hashiba Hideyoshi one after another, and he also wondered if he had overreacted.

Anyway, now Ise is also the territory of the Oda family, just like what the lord said, there are no threatening forces now, so it seems that it is okay for him to relax a little bit.

On the other hand, Hashiba Hideyoshi has long been used to being kicked by Oda Nobunaga, and he doesn't care at all, let alone this kind of kick with intimacy.

Besides, the lord is dressed like this now, compared to his usual appearance, let alone being kicked, he would be happy to be kicked a few more times.

So at this moment, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was diligently leading the horse, still had a strange smile on his mouth. When the conversation between Oda Nobunaga and Ikeda Hengxing came to an end, he calmed down a little, and asked again, "My lord, Why do you suddenly want to visit Ise Shrine?"

The lord of his family was a strong man who burned down the 800-year-old Buddhist holy mountain Hiei. Why did he suddenly think of going to Ise Shrine again this time?

Hashiba Hideyoshi doesn't think that her lord suddenly has faith, even if she does, it's because she believes in herself.

"Why, I'm the devil, so I can't visit Ise Jingu Shrine?" Oda Nobunaga leisurely shook the folding fan in his hand, adding a bit of arrogance to his chicness.

"Monkey doesn't mean that." Hashiba Hideyoshi hastily expressed his loyalty. Of course, he also heard that the lord was not angry.

Oda Nobunaga closed her fan. She hadn't personally educated her retainers for a long time. Since she captured Mino, she didn't even need to explain too much. She only needed to give orders, and the retainers below would obey them no matter right or wrong.Now that she is free and interested, she doesn't mind saying a few more words, "Monkey, in your opinion, what are gods and Buddhas?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was a little dumbfounded, "The gods and Buddhas are, yes..." For a while, he seemed unable to fully summarize his thoughts.

In his heart, gods and Buddhas are gods and Buddhas, and they are existences that must be worshiped with respect and respect.

Oda Nobunaga actually didn't want what kind of answer Hashiba Hideyoshi could answer, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Gods and Buddhas are actually a kind of belief, a kind of spiritual worship and sustenance," to be honest, even She is also not sure whether there are gods and Buddhas in this world. After all, she appeared in this era in a peculiar way, "So in fact, gods and Buddhas probably have no good or bad in themselves." It's so easy to understand, "It's just the spokespersons of the gods and Buddhas in the world that determine their image." The folding fan in her hand patted her palm, "It's like Mount Hiei, where the monks burned, killed and looted, it was the gods and Buddhas who let them Did they do this? No, it was their own desires and selfishness that caused such a result. Of course, in addition to this, there are also some spokespersons of gods and Buddhas who persuade people to do good and help others. Isn’t it true that such gods and Buddhas Is it okay to trust me?"

After a pause, Oda Nobunaga continued, "Although I burned down Mount Hiei, I didn't actually want to destroy all the gods and Buddhas in the world." It is not a bad thing to lead people to be good in it. Even in the modern age of highly developed science and technology, the power of religion is still huge. As long as the good side can be guided and carried forward according to the situation, it is actually very good. Isn’t Christianity the Buddha they believe in? Since I will allow them to preach, I will not destroy their gods and Buddhas.” In fact, religion has a good side, which should never be denied, let alone freedom of belief. .

She is not a pure believer, and she wants to launch some holy war or something.

Just think about it.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was also stunned when he heard that, my lord, did she say that she didn't actually want to destroy gods and Buddhas, but to treat gods and Buddhas differently?

"What are you thinking about?" Oda Nobunaga leaned over slightly, and knocked his fan on Hashiba Hideyoshi's head, "Except for the time at Mt. Hiei, when did you see me destroying Buddhist temples indiscriminately and chasing down monks?"

It is not impossible for Buddhist temples to exist, but outsiders should act like outsiders, occupying land and population, and even launching wars for their own selfishness is nothing.

I'm afraid it's not a fake Buddha.

So what about eradication?

The author has something to say: I rubbed my eyes three times to confirm that almost no one responded to the last chapter. I thought I was abandoned and almost scared that I didn’t update today, with tears in my eyes...
